Night Gardening

Last Wednesday was my 25th birthday and I really wanted to celebrate by making something pretty for my block.

In front of my building there's this little square of dirt and weeds that has been there forever.

In a city where almost everything is made of concrete, why have a tiny piece of land filled with weeds when we can have a tiny piece of land filled with flowers?!
So I planned a little night gardening party and had all the bare necessities... friends, flowers, gardening tools,

fun gloves, fancy shoes,
and long balloons to make silly balloon animals.

It may be a small garden, but it adds color to my block and makes my neighbors smile...

Happy Birthday! I just discovered your blog. You're so creative! I'm sure you already knew that, but wow, I am amazed. You seem like you must have the most colorful life ever, and I will definitely be following along.

You should read picture books called 'Window' and 'Belonging' by Jeannie Baker. Belonging takes exactly the idea of what you have done but over the course of a young boy's life from baby to adult, the neighbourhood is transformed into a colourful, natural world, it's amazing. Window is the opposite - hugely depressing but so very near the mark. Love the colourful blog, keep it up! :)
